Lythranidine is an alkaloid that was first isolated from the plant Lythrum anceps. The compound requires eight steps to synthesize in vitro which requires the formation of a 17 membered ring with a trans-26-disubstituted piperidine ring. Lythranidine was first synthesized by Fuji Kaoru Kohei Ichikawa and Eiichi Fujita in 1971. They were the first paper published on the synthesis of lythranidine.
